RELATIONAL REMINDER: Our goal for Saturday is to sit down with homeless friends and enjoy a meal together. It can often be our default mode though in situations like this to act as the "servers" and be task-oriented and busy-bodies rather than engagers of conversation. Let's remember to sit down and dine with our guests, enjoy life together, strike up conversation, laugh, be authentic, maybe pray with people if we can (for those who are prayin' folks), and of course play horseshoes thanks to Keith. The goal here is relationship with people rather than simply giving stuff away. If you don't have much experience in being around homeless folks too, that's fine. We are all in this together. Our old blog has a helpful post from last year HERE that it is a good read and reminder for all of us on practical tips for interacting with homeless folks.
